NATHAN / UK NATHAN Vintage Sideboard #32500

This sideboard is by Nathan, one of the most representative British mid-century furniture brands.

After the war, modern Scandinavian design became very popular, and Scandinavian-style furniture began to be made in the UK as well. The UK's high level of technology and production capacity, which had a foundation in traditional furniture making, made it possible to produce high-quality furniture. Representative British manufacturers include G-PLAN, which was one of the first to adopt Danish design, and the long-established Scottish manufacturers AHMcIntosh and Nathan. There were also many other excellent Scandinavian-style furniture manufacturers. Scandinavian-style furniture made in the UK during the mid-century period is still highly regarded today for its quality and design that is comparable to authentic Scandinavian furniture, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.

The warm texture of the vintage teak and the elegant appearance are a little closer to classic furniture. The fact that it is less widely available than G PLAN or McIntosh also appeals to collectors.

This item was designed by Nathan, a British company during the mid-century period, but after Parker Knoll acquired the company in 1981, it is now sold by Parker Knoll.
